Should Dillon Brooks be held responsible for possible downfall of Grizzlies against Lakers?

Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers - Game Four

Before the start of the postseason, Dillon Brooks was predicting that his team would cruise against the Lakers and advance to the next round. However, that would probably not happen, as his team need to win the next three games to do so.

Additionally, he was disrespectful against LeBron James, mocking him and calling him "old." Since his comments were revealed to the public, fans have quickly turned on him and Memphis. Most ans seem to be against Brooks because of his comments.

However, it wasn't just the comments about James that the Canadian forward made. It's also the lack of skills and talent to back up his claims. While he hasn't publicly said that he's better than the four-time MVP, his mere display of mockery towards him has caused fans to make him the most hated man in the league.

The Grizzlies are on the verge of getting eliminated by a Los Angeles team that doesn't boast a ton of talent and has had a lot of issues in the regular season. The California team should thank Brooks for giving them the energy and motivation to perform at their best in the first-round series.
